Fair Elections Illinois

Fair Elections Illinois is a coalition led by Common Cause Illinois that is working to reform our campaign finance system. We believe that it is the voices of the people, not special interest groups or large corporations, that politicians should be working to please. That's why we have started campaigns across Illinois to introduce public financing into local elections. Join us in the fight to hold power accountable and amplify the voices of the people.

Evanston Campaign

Fair Elections Illinois is has formed a coalition, Equitable Evanston, with local Evanston community leaders to raise public support for campaign finance reform in the mayoral and aldermanic races. Find upcoming events and read about our proposals below.

We are a country–a city–that believes people should have the power. But that’s not the system we live under. Take the time to take the necessary steps so that we can live under an electoral system that represents our values.
